Join us for a FREE in-person event to learn more about common vision concerns and ways to make everyday life easier with vision loss.

More than 60,000 people in Southeastern Wisconsin have vision loss that cannot be corrected. We want you and your loved ones to know that you are not alone. The key to living successfully with vision loss is learning to accomplish everyday tasks in new and different ways.

Vision Connections will:

  • Connect you with other individuals and families experiencing similar challenges
  • Provide you with life-changing resources, information, and strategies
